Well - the log file stuff I only did in CF 4.5. They were quick enough, but the processing was vastly more complicated than just looping over the list (the logs were made up of many values, some of which where WDDX packets that had to be dealt with and each row could result in several database writes). But still - the performance was acceptable (and by that I mean a big file could take 10 or 20 minutes to process). CFMX is, on average, about 2-4 times faster than CF 4.5 (sometimes less, but mostly more). Also since list management code was some of the oldest in CF (even in CF 5.0 some of that code dated back to CF 2.0) it got a lot of attention in CFMX - it's actually PDQ right now. Depending on your lit contents 350 items really shouldn't be a problem for most apps. You'd probably be able to do things quicker, but sometimes fast enough is good enough. ;^) What matters more, to me, is how often the code is run and how visible it is. A log-file processor that (like mine) ran once a day at 2AM as an automated process doesn't really need to be super-optimized. But a process that runs every request or could cause a user to wait for a while should be looked at seriously. I would try out a sample and time it using getTickCount() - my guess is that you'll be pleasantly surprised.
